BLUFFTON TODAY

The Society of Bluffton Artists will host a reception this afternoon for its newest show, a display of 98 photographs submitted for its photo contest, “A View through the Lens of Bluffton, the Lowcountry and more.”

The reception will be from 3 to 5 p.m. today at the SoBA gallery at 48 Boundary St., where Boundary intersects Lawton Street in Old Town.

“We will have food and some wine and then we will announce the winners and award the ribbons for first, second and third places and honorable mention,” said Sob President Chris Clayton. “Everybody is invited and we hope we sell some photographs.”

The photos were judged by Jean-Marie Cote and Donna Varner.

“It was remarkable that we got 98 photographs,” Clayton said. “I set it up originally to be just a fun thing, not a big deal. It’s a fundraiser and not with the regular hard rules of a photo competition.”

Shows at the gallery change every six weeks, and Sob hosts receptions the first Sunday for every new show.

Regular gallery visiting hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Mondays and 10 a.m.-5:00 pm Tuesday through Saturday, according to SoBA’s website at www.sobagalleries.com
